Guess what my new hobby is

So I spent a year watching people like Tim, Tickle,Popcorn Sutton,and Jim Tom on TV and was thinking jeez laweez that looks like fun! not running from the revenue man or the law, but What it is these colorful characters do, so I figured Id give it a whirl, since I dont yet have a functional "mechanical container" (Still),I am currently using the fermentation method.

anyway here is a easy recipe for some good home brew


Easy RUM

Two pounds of brown sugar per one gallon of water and one cup of honey for every ten gallon batch. Starting hydrometer reading of about 90. Do not exceed 100. Add 1 to 3 ozs of yeast per 10 gallons of mash.

Heat one fourth of your water to 120 or 130 degrees only hot enough to melt the sugar, then stir in your sugar and then the honey last. Pour it into your fermenter and finish filling with cool water to cool it down to 80 degrees. Take a hydrometer reading and adjust as needed. The add your yeast. 6 to 14 days to ferment.


I am pretty sure making moonshine is illegal here in Canada as well, however you Can buy beer, wine,and spirits making kits, and with all the required equipment build a decent still as well, so as long as its not sold and only used for personal use and brewed in batches of 2 to 10 gallon batches then theres not a lot the law can do about it.

I am working on a simple stove top still made from a pressure cooker and about 10 feet of 1/4 inch copper pipe,when I perfect it I will post pictures.

Anyway its late , have a good weekend folks

My Memorial Tattoo to my late wife is done!! photos

So as I told you all yesterday, I was getting a Tattoo to honour my Wife, She absolutely LOVED Wolves, I truly believe Wolves were her kindred Spirit, she in fact picked this very wolf design out for me back in November-December, when I mentioned that I’d like to get another Tattoo, so this one has very deep meaning to me. I had her first name added because I wanted Everyone who sees it to know just how special this Tattoo is.

My love for my wife will never fade or diminish, I love her now, always, and forever, this Tattoo will keep her memory alive for all time.

I had this done in just one sitting, it took about an hour and a half, it’s on my upper left arm, it will take a couple days for the redness to dissipate and the swelling to go down, did it hurt? not really no it honestly didn’t, it felt much the same as a sunburn , this is the second Tattoo on my left arm , the other is on my forearm:

This one is a Memorial to my Father, it’s about 10 years old now and due for a touch up, which I am having done on my next visit to my Tattoo Artist, on the underside of this arm I am going to have my Son’s name going from Elbow to wrist in Old English/Calligraphy lettering done, I left a space between this Tattoo and the one I just got today for a Dove with an Olive Branch in it’s beak , that one will be for my Mother when she passes.

As I said in a previous post about Tattoo’s, I can’t show you the one’s on my thigh’s without showing you my junk, and I am certainly no going to let you see that, that is sacred ground, off limits to everyone on the planet… that, and I’m not an exhibitionist lol

Anyway, that’s about all I have to say tonight, Remember folks:express your love often,never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.
